Avoid the Mack Bridge westbound 3/10/2015
Part of my continuing public service, if you drive on the East side...please avoid the westbound Mack bridge between Conner and St. Jean for the next few days. They're down to one lane in each direction, due to long-needed resurfacing, but funnel the westbound traffic over an 1/8th scale rendering of the GRAND FUCKING CANYON, complete with raw rebar representing the flights of touring helicopters over the abyss.
When I drove through there this morning, thankfully in the other direction...I encountered three lemmings following their king, who'd gone the wrong way around the barricades...despite VERY clear double-yellow striped lane taping...stopping up traffic to gawk at the two poor souls who'd lost their right front tires in the faux-canyon, behind whom were another three innocents stuck in the barricade-funnel.
This makes four cars damaged within our limited two-day travels past this area, after our near-miss yesterday morning. The fault is the lane-creators, for not putting a temporary fill in that cavern before forcing everyone to drive into it. Fuckers.
